Geodesy Day – International Webinar on Geodesy
“Every map ever drawn. Every satellite ever launched. Every border ever defined. All rest upon one science…
Geodesy”
About the Event
What if the science that holds our modern world together remains largely invisible to those who need it the most? Survey of Pakistan (SoP) is determined to change that.
On 3 June 2026, Survey of Pakistan will proudly observe National Geodesy Day in Pakistan – which will become a permanent observance every year. This event on 3 June is a landmark initiative to bring Geodesy out of the shadows and into the spotlight it deserves. In the spirit of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), this international webinar unites brilliant minds from across the globe to celebrate, advance and reimagine the future of geodetic sciences.
Why This Moment Matters?
We live in an era of climate change, rapid urbanization, satellite navigation and digital mapping – all underpinned by the precision of Geodesy. In Pakistan, however, the field continues to face institutional challenges, including limited academic recognition and the absence of dedicated university level degree programs. National Geodesy Day is a strategic initiative to address these gaps, stimulate scientific discourse and align national efforts with international geodetic standards and priorities.
Objectives
- Promote awareness of Geodesy in Pakistan and its scientific significance within the framework of IUGG and IAG goals
- Facilitate international exchange of knowledge on modern geodetic methods, technologies and applications
- Strengthen scientific cooperation between Pakistan and the global geodetic community
- To promote geodetic education and research programs at the national level
- Contribute to the advancement of geodetic sciences at regional and global levels in support of IUGG’s mission
Who Should Attend
This webinar is open to all experts, researchers, academics, geospatial professionals and students with an interest in geodesy, surveying, remote sensing and related disciplines.
Be Part of Something Significant
National Geodesy Day is not a mere webinar, it is a meaningful step toward strengthening Pakistan’s engagement with the global geodetic community. We invite international experts, researchers and professionals to join us, share expertise and help shape Pakistan’s path towards joining more scientifically connected world.
